Why is Durga Ashtami on Sun 14 Oct?
In New Delhi
Durga Ashtami is on Sun 14 Oct: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.
Ashtami at sunrise, 06:21. Ashtami: 04:59 to 04:28 Mon.
Ashtami ended at 04:28; sunrise at 06:21 is Navami. Ashtami: 04:59 Sun to 04:28.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Durga Ashtami follows the tithi at sunrise. Ashtami runs from 04:59 on Sun 14 Oct to 04:28 on Mon 15 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 14 Oct, at 06:21. No text giving Durga Ashtami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Ashtami
Durga Ashtami follows the tithi at sunrise.
- Smarta
- the day Ashtami holds at sunrise: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
Why the cities differ
New Delhi keeps Sun 14 Oct. Singapore keeps Mon 15 Oct.
Time runs down, the same instant across both columns · each city on its own clock · dashed: tithi changes · filled: what each reading keeps
